A canned motor device includes a casing, a rear cover and a leak detector. The rear cover has a main body portion having a cover end wall, and an extended disk portion cooperating with the main body portion to define an accommodating space. The casing and the rear cover cooperatively define an annular groove, a liquid-receiving space and a plurality of guiding grooves therebetween. The leak detector is disposed on one side of the cover end wall opposite to the liquid-receiving space for detecting a change in electrostatic capacity between the leak detector and the liquid-receiving space. The annular groove communicates with the liquid-receiving space, the accommodating space and each of the guiding grooves.

An integrated flow source is a limiting factor in numerous microfluidic applications. In addition to precise gradients and controlling molecular transports, a built-in source of stable and accurate flow can enable novel shear stress modulations for long-term cell culturing studies. The Tesla turbine, when used as a pump on the microfluidic regime, produces stable and accurate fluid gradients by utilizing laminar flow between its rotating discs Utilizing a stereolithography based 3D printer, a tesla pump (Ø10 cm) and associated housing capable of driving a microfluidic gradient is provided having a printed rotor surface topology of the pump in order to enhance pumping of biological fluids like blood at elevated viscosities. The surface topology is tuned via 3D pixilation, and this modulation completely recovered the pressure loss between pumping water at 1 cP versus glycerol solution at 3 cP. As a result, increased fluid viscosities, and even Non-Newtonian viscosities, can be used.

A liquid-cooled heat dissipation device is disclosed, comprising a main body, a centrifugal pump, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, a centrifugal fan and a motor. The main body comprises a shaft hole, liquid flow channels and airflow channels. The centrifugal pump guides a cooling liquid through the inlet pipe, main body and outlet pipe. The centrifugal fan guides air into the main body axially from the shaft hole. After passing through the centrifugal fan, the air forms centrifugal airflows and leaves the body radially through the airflow channels. With an extended flow path of the cooling liquid and the radial flow of the centrifugal airflow provided by the present invention, the temperature of the cooling liquid may be quickly reduced and the cooling effect may be improved. Thus, the structure is compact, small, light-weight, easy-to-assemble.

A liquid-cooling pump and a flow channel structure thereof are disclosed. The flow channel structure includes a liquid pump mounting chamber. A bottom of the liquid pump mounting chamber is centrally formed with a liquid inlet. A peripheral side of the liquid pump mounting chamber is formed with a liquid outlet. An inner wall of the peripheral side of the liquid pump mounting chamber is convexly provided with a protruding boss corresponding to one side of the liquid outlet and surrounding an impeller, and is concavely provided with a guide groove corresponding to another side of the liquid outlet and surrounding the impeller. The protruding boss is gradually thinned along a rotating direction of the impeller. The guide groove is gradually deepened along the rotating direction of the impeller and communicates with the liquid outlet.
